Surveys claim travellers unfazed by airport scanners! Really?

The mainstream media was quick to publicise the findings of a survey that showed widespread public support for the global drive to install 'naked' full-body scanners at airports.

Articles such as Sky News: UK Holidaymakers Back Use Of Full-Body Scanners and Agence France-Presse: Opinion poll: US anti-terror too lax, uncritically repeated the report's findings without questioning the reliability of the survey or mentioning the conflict of interests held by those in the security industry who stand to profit from rolling out these dangerous machines.

There is one glaring omission from these and the many media reports that published 'news' articles based on the Unisys press release. That is who Unisys is, their connections with government, military, Homeland security, the Transportation Services Authority (TSA) and how they profit from airport security technologies. The failure of the mainstream media to report the true source and motives behind this survey is a clear example of how they lie by omitting the most important facts. More...

Don't miss:

  1. Children must go through naked airport scanners...
  2. The airport worker who "misused" the body scanner. Misused???
  3. Muslims warned not to go through airport body scanners...
  4. Fear itself: why are we letting the terrorists win?
  5. "Naked"airport scanner may be guilty of indecency for scanning children...
